Risk assessment handled by a retrieval engine, with a human signing rather than writing. Aimed at architecture ops teams, starting from data the business already produces.
In short: Risk Scorer for Architecture, Run by Retrieval is a retrieval engine aimed at architecture ops managers, covering risk assessment. It scores 74/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by moat (92) and held back by demand (49). Typical pricing is $4.4k–$93k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in about a quarter for $17k–$45k.
Architecture teams lose risk scored by whoever is free that afternoon. A typical architecture operation runs this on people, memory, and a shared spreadsheet. Most operators assume this is simply the cost of doing business.
A narrow retrieval engine scoped to risk assessment alone — no platform, no migration, no six-month rollout. Revenue is per-outcome, which suits a buyer who wants the cost to track the value rather than the seat count.

Retrieval over private documents became cheap enough to run per query. Architecture is growing at roughly 15% a year, and this job has not been re-tooled since it was designed around paper.
| Who | The gap |
|---|---|
| The incumbent suite | Sells a platform; this job is one neglected module inside it |
| A spreadsheet | The real incumbent in most of the market, and it is free |
| A vertical competitor | Priced and scoped for enterprise accounts, not this segment |
Accuracy is unforgiving here — one wrong output costs more than the subscription.
